Top Matera Hotel Reviews
Palazzo Viceconte
10/10 Excellent
"Large older palace converted to a hotel. Owner still lives upstairs. Stunning views from this location, the highest in Matera next to the Duomo. "
Caveoso Hotel
6/10 Okay
"Bed was confortable, bathroom
Wasn’t the cleanest and breakfast was okay"
Locanda di San Martino Hotel & Termae Romanae
8/10 Good
"The property itself was nice and overall the stay was decent, but there were several comfort issues. The pools required an additional €25 fee for just 90 minutes each visit, which felt excessive. The steam room and sauna were barely warm, and the room temperature could not be adjusted, making it uncomfortably hot at times. It felt like the property was prioritizing energy savings over guest comfort."
Fra i Sassi - Residence
10/10 Excellent
"Stunning property, beautiful pictoresque terraces, delicious breakfast. Attentive and professional staff. Excellent location. "
Corte San Pietro
10/10 Excellent
"It was great breakfast, very caring and kind staff. strongly recommended hotel"
Sextantio Le Grotte Della Civita
10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is incredible and the staff is as well. We absolutely loved our stay. It was truly a unique experience. However, guests should know that because the hotel is literally incorporated into the caves, it can be physically demanding climbing all the stone stairs. People with mobility issues will definitely struggle at this hotel"
Basiliani Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"This was the most unique hotel we’ve ever stayed at. The staff were most helpful and accommodating. The nice touch was while we were having a glass of wine on the terrace. The host brought us a complimentary appetizer."
